		Achill's landscape is utterly unique, an odd combination of great, bulky mountains, sweeping boglands, the most snaggled and battered shoreline, perhaps, in the whole country, open Atlantic, beautiful beaches and dizzyingly steep sea cliffs, the highest, in fact, in all of Europe.
		Achill remained a remote and wholly Irish-speaking community throughout the 19th century, with no roads or infrastructure, and a sea-based population that fished and subsistence-farmed to make ends meet.
		Like much of the western seaboard, Achill fell victim during the 19th century to the drain of emigration, though this was mitigated to an extent by seasonal migration, where men would go working in Scotland and England during the winter months and return to fish and farm at home in the summer.
